ANGES

IN THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

It was a remarkable characteristic of thi> institution
that for many years there were but few changes in the
teaching force. Dr. Edwards was connected with the in-
stitution for fifteen wars. \)r. Hewett thirty-two years,
Professor Metcalf something more than thirty-two years,
Professor Stetson twenty five years, and there were oth-
ers who left the faculty after a Long service. Of late,
changes have been somewhat more frequent. The de
n i a ml for Normal School men has greatly increased, the
salaries have become far more attractive, and* many things
have united to make it more difficult to hold our teachers.
1 1 is .i frequent remark of the visitors who have not been
here for a few years that there arc but few familiar faces
in the faculty. Whih' there have been many changes, as I
have said, the service of the present faculty is quite long.
Professor McCormick began hi> work here as a teacher in

faculty in IH82, Miss Ela in '88, Miss Colby in '92, Dr. McMurry in '92, Professor Felmley
in '90, Professor Manchester in '90, Miss Wilkins and Miss Lucas in '92, Mrs. McMurry
in '91, and the writer in 1866. The last additions to the faculty are Mr. Manfred J.

beautifully lighted from the north, east, and west. The book stacks are along the south
side and are of metal of the familiar pattern furnished bythe Library Bureau of Chicago.
This leaves a commodious reading room capable of seating comfortably 31 Oor i"n people.
Below the library are theclos ?ts, dressing rooms, and the bath room. These are adjacent
to the gymnasium which occupies the projection at the left of the main en trance as shown
by the cut. The bowling alley is not yet completed and the commodious swimming pool
must await a more favorable season for its completion.

By the removal of the science department to the new building, the old science rooms
in the third story of the main building are vacated and will probably be utilized for so

. purposes. The plan now is to take out the partition in the old society halls, cut

ibout twenty feet from the south end of the Philadelphian society for a parlor, change
the position of the platform to one side, possibly, and then turn it over to one of the SO
cieties. The rooms at the east end of the building will be arranged similarly and thus

societies will have ample space at last to accommodate their entire membership.

Still much remains to be done. We must have a good kindergarten: music', which has
been sadly neglected, must be taught by a skillful teacher, and manual training along the
lines of Sloyd or some other development of the principle must also find a place here.

The state has. indeed, been a noble benefactor to this institution, and its generous
help wili be more fully accorded than ever before. Public sentiment, which was hostile
or indifferent, is now altogether favorable. Reasonable appropriation bills meet with no
opposition, and the demand lor professionally prepared teachers is multiplied manytold
within the last tew years. There is every reason for the Normal School men to feel that
they are abundantly appreciated, and that the opportunity for their best work' is really
opening to them. John W. Cook.

KIGHTONIA opened the fall term of 'i'7 with crowded ball and enthusi-
astic audiences. All looked forward to and worked for the contest, from
the start, as the event of the term and year. Charles Allen, as presi-
dent, and Nellie Fincham, as secretary, welcomed the many new members
to our meetings, and our programs were very interesting' and entertaining".
Three of our contestants were taken from the entering section, and although our best
talent was reserved for the contest, still our programs did not lack in interest and enter-
tainment.

Mr. Skinner gave a tine musical program in the fall term. We have been especially
benefited by the criticisms given on our programs by the members of the faeultv. and
thank them for their interest and help.

Miss Lucas has delighted us often with her classic readings.

While we were defeated in the annual contest, we can bear our defeat with a good
grace, as it has shown us wherein we were lacking, giving us a stimulus for next year.
So if we will learn from experience, and profit by our lessons, we shall regain our lost
laurels, and Wrightonia shall be victorious.

After the excitement was over, we settled down, and with Clara Suell as president
and David Becket as secretary, had a busy aud profitable term. Two series of papers,
one on scientific subjects, the other on art, headed our original work. Music has been
especially good on our programs this year.

During this — the winter — term, our Dramatic Club gave the play of "Esmeralda-" to a
crowded house, and with unbounded satisfaction to all. The last Saturday night of this
term occurred our inter-section contest, which was more exciting than usual. A good
deal of feeling was aroused between the sections, but everything went off smoothly, and
the contest was a success. Our society has reason to be proud of results shown by each
section. Surely we need not fear or doubt that victory is ours next fall if the winners
from this contest are with us.

The spring election of officers passed off quietly. Herman Doud became president,
and Bessie Cowles, secretary. Warm weather did not interrupt our society work as early
as usual this year, but we soon noticed the effects of the spring weather. Still, the pro-
grams, though short, are interesting, and we feel repaid for our efforts to keep them up
to the standard Wrig-htonia has established.

We hope to begin our next year in our larger hall, and thus be able to accommodate
all with seats. D. L. B.

|>HILADELPHIANS are well pleased with the results of the past year's

society work. Once more they feel that they are the formidable equals

of the Wrightonians, in intellectual, as well as in physical contest.

Again, they feel, looking; back over the many evenings spent together

at society, that the great majority of the programs have been pleasing,

interesting, and instructive. The presidents elected for the different terms were as

follows: Mary Rickards, spring; James Fairchild, winter, and Roy Mize, fall.

The spring term went along in its usual smooth and calm order.

During the winter term, one of the most prominent features of our evenings was a
debate. Since we are to be teachers, and are to come into closer touch with public life,
we ought to be logical in our thinking and to have full possession of ourselves in public.
Now, the successful debater is the person who can "think on his feet" and we. as teachers,
to do our best work, must take advantage of those influences most conducive to this re-
sult; consequently, we hope that this element of our programs so well begun will continue.
Owing to bad weather, the Intersectional contest Avas poorly attended. The Lower
Sections made a creditable showing, but Section C won easily.

The fall term marked a new era in the struggle for supremacy between the two
societies. The spirit of contest, heretofore confined to the intellectual side alone, was now
even carried to the field of athletics. In consequence, many games were played during

YhIRTY SEVENTH ANNUAL.^^

Inter-Sqgiety Contest.

[IFE is extremely uncertain to say the least. Fortuna is fickle indeed, yet
we are all at her mercy. Especially is she capricious when embodied in
the form of six judges deciding our fate in the Inter-Society Contest. We
work' and fight, swear by our society, hold secret meetings, sit in solemn
judgment over half a dozen aspirants for the same honor, deceive our
friends on the other side, spy in the enemy's camp, perhaps; cry, a little
because the society we love so well fails to appreciate our ability in speaking pieces,
run a candidate because he"s running us. goad our contestants on to the verge of nervous
prostration, and SO on indefinitely through three desperate feverish months. And then
arrives the fateful night. Fortuna turns the wheel, and tin- society drawing the blank
concludes the judges to be old fogies unacquainted with their business and goes oil' to
wax eloquent over chicken salad and the wonders to be accomplished next year.

The contest of '97 started in with every show of great earnestness. We all remem-
ber that little melee in the drawing-room that eventful noon when we accused each other
nt being guilty of the crime for which Ananias and Sapphira suffered death, and ugly
names and expletives were as thiclc as peanuts at a circus. "Isn't it thrilling!" a fair-
haired girl remarked from the top of an art bench where she had taken refuge. "Isn't it
thrilling! Makes me think- of those terrible riots you read about!" And she swung her
feet in ecstacy.

The fight over, we began to Haunt our "sure things," our "winners" in the face of the
enemy. We hurried our contestants off to mysterious and wonderful trainers living in
foreign parts (Bloomington), discovered books for our debators containing valueless in-

And then all signs failed. The long victorious side was vanquished and the Wright-
onians comforted themselves with the crust that at least they had one Hill which the
Pbiladelphians couldn't surmount.

The debate of"'97 is memorable in that it proves the efficiency of grasping one or
two strong points and hammering on them until they are driven in to stay. The instru-
mentalists were both hampered with the mechanism of the Rubenstein "Valse Brilliante."
Only when the emotions are untrammeled in expression is playing" what it should be.
Tlie Philadelphian singer showed the ease in manner and expression which comes with
long training. Her voice, however, hardly revealed the purity and fullness of her op-
ponent's. The essays were both excellent. A broader theme and a simpler handling,
perhaps, gave the point to the Pbiladelphians. Yet. after all. it is Forfuna. The ora-
tions were able efforts. Both were on subjects near to the heart of every American.
The recitations were again strangely alike, and both were delivered with power and
feeling.

The result of it all was that Philadelphia won everything, with the exception of the
recitation. Miss Hill saved Wrightonia from a whitewash. High praise is due all the
contestants. They worked hard and faithfully, and each acquitted himself so that none
may not say "Well done." C. A. M.

Interpretation. — "Protection to our merchant marine by
legislative action" is the policy of artificially creating by
legislative— that is, Congressional— enactments special con-
ditions which are supposed and intended to be favorable to
our own marine— i.e., oceanic shipping interests, foreign as
well as domestic— and relatively unfavorable to competing
shipping of other nations. "Laissez faire doctrine," as ap-
plied to shipping, is the doctrine of letting trade interests
work out their natural results without Interference or artificial
stimulus or favors in any direction by legislative action.

Sapphg

To those who have ever been in our Normal
School, Sappho needs do introduction; to those who
have not, we would speak briefly of the great bene-
fit and pleasure derived from such a society. The
benefit arises chiefly from the fact that the society
is divided into five different committees, each of
which carries on its own line of work independent
of the work of any other committee.

A great deal of interest was aroused this spring
by the organization of walking and bicycle clubs by
the athletic committee. This enthusiastic commit-
tee, during the fall term, made a special study of
tennis and golf, and during the winter, of all kinds of winter sports, including Cana-
dian games.

Another committee whose work' is very helpful is the current history committee.
The discussion < > t the important topics of the day in such exciting times cannot be other
than highly interesting; while with Miss Hartmann to assist in unravelling the intricate
meshes of chapters on ^production and exchange in "Walker's Political Economy" the
minds of those in the work cannot help but be broadened and deepened.

The travel committee is^especial ly favored by having the assistance of one gifted

with so rare a power of description as Miss Wilkins. They followed Hansen in his "Far-
thest North, "and made imaginary visits to the Isle of Shoals and to the beautiful Danube.

The girls of the music committee have been very faithful in their work-, and have
accomplished much good. The past year lias been spent in the study of the great com-
posers and of the opera, especially "Der Freischutz," by Weber, and "Oberon," by Wagner.
They have also read "Music and Morals." an interesting work- by an English minister,
Haweis, and have furnished the music for the regular Sapphonian programs.

Every two weeks, on Friday evening, the i^irl.s of the literature committee gather at
Mi>> Colby's for their regular work', or rather pleasure, for such it always proves to be.
They have read from Euripides during the entire year. These Greek plays are very fas-
cinating when one has once gained the spirit of them. During the fall term the Alcestis
and Medea were read, during the winter term the Bacchanals and Hippolytus, and this
term the Electra and Orestres have been their main study.

Each committee gives a program at least once a term. An effort is always put forth
to make this stand for their best work-. For instance, a program was given by the liter-
ature committee at which they gave selections from the Bacchanals and Hippolytus in
Greek costume. In this Miss Wright as Jason was very good, while Elizabeth Johnston
looked like a veritable Greek. The recitatives by Miss Snell and Miss Clark- were very
much enjoyed by all.

But with all her work. Sappho does not neglect her social duties. Each term she
gives a reception to the j^'irls of the school. The one given at the beginning of the spring-
term was a decided success and great credit is due Miss Potter and the music committee
for the happy rendering of the Mikado. The audience seemed to enjoy this little comedy

Z be UnDcr

very much, and the way in which they entered into the spirit of it made it easier for those
who took the parts. A most despairing lover was Nanki Poo as he endeavored "to ter-
minate an unendurable existence." Ko Ko, with his fluttering helplessness as he sought
a victim to behead, was much enjoyed by the audience, but Pooh Bah, with his haughty
pride and lofty mien as he sought to withstand the charms of the three little maids from
school, was a surprise to all who knew the real character of the actor.

In the fall term the girls gave a reception to the Ciceronians, and this spring the
boys gave a reception to the girls. The latter was very much enjoyed by all who were
there, for the boys proved to be very delightful hosts. The pathetic skill shown by Mr.
Myall in arranging his coiffure touched a very tender cord in the heart of his audience.
The farce which followed was a very novel one and made one think she never would be
able to look sober ag'ain.

Now, we are sure that when you come to Normal you will be eager to join Sappho's
happy working band. L. V.

GlGERO

,11!-; CICERONIAN SOCIETY, during the past year, has lost none of its
old-time reputation for excellence of work- done. In fact, in a great many
ways this year ha.- I) 'I'll one of the most successful that the society lias
ever known. The attendance has been very good. Most of the work
done has been original. It is in this line of effort that the Ciceronian
Society has gained its enviable reputation among both faculty and stu-
dents. Many were the words of praise from different members of the faculty on the
excellence of the debates, papers, and orations given from time to time during the year.
While the other societies train men and women to appear before an audience, it is the
o iject of this society to train men to think. For this reason no young man can afford to
miss the opportunities which it offers. While the membership this year lias been unusu-
ally large, we hope that next year even more of the boys will find it profitable to spend
their Friday nights within the Ciceronian Society walls.

The Model Senate is -till in existence. Some very excellent work has been done
during the year. These are trying times, and much of the excitement afloat in the air
ha- found its way even into the senate chamber. Much important business has been
transacted during the year, but probably none other has been so far reaching in its influ-
ence as the act passed February 28, 1898, by a vote of i!'.' to 18, delaring war against ih<
kingdom of Spain. A- a result of this declaration many of the senators have resigned and
joined tin- rank- and file.

Thf senate meeting held on the 28th of February was an open meeting. Many of our
Sapphonian friends took- advantage of this opportunity to know more about the Model
Si nate of which they had heard so much; it was noticed that many of the senators could

with difficulty b • restrained from talking to the galleries during the session. The Model
Senate is one of the very best organizations for parliamentary drill, and we hope to see
it ever remain a leading feature of our society work'.

The spirit of party politics lias not run so high this year as it has in years past. We
believe this to be a good thing. While it is necessary for the best results to have two
parties, and to have some rivalry between the contending factions, yet party spirit has
often made enemies. Because you are a Liberal and some one else is a Ciceronian, is no
reason that some one else is not just as good a man as you.

As usual the Liberal party succeeded in getting the first election of the year, and
held dominion during the entire fall term. But during the winter term the Ciceronians
were able to defeat their wily opponents, and have had things pretty well their own way
ever since. Much of the success of the year, no doubt, may be attributed to the good
fortunes of the Ciceronian party.

A> usual two receptions have been given during the year. One in the fall by the
Sapphonians, and one in the spring by the Ciceronians. Both were very enjoyable affairs
Even if there was nothing else to consider it would pay any one to be a Ciceronian just
to be permitted to attend these receptions.

These are some of the principal features of the past year's work. There are many
other things connected with the history of the past year which every true Ciceronian
will remember, but we have not space to mention them here.

The following havebeenthe presidents of the year: Fall — Bruce Bright, J. H.Whitten.

ING DAVID sang, "'The Lord gave the word: the women that publish the
tidings are a great host." From that early time until Mary stood weep
ing at the tomb of her risen Lord and down to the present day have Chris-
tian women gladly published the tidings of the King of Kings.

Rich and varied fields of activity have opened up before the hand-
maidens of God who have been eager to serve Him. The Christian young women of the
Normal School have gladly availed themselves of the opportunities for service as found
in the Young Women's Christian Association.

The year 1897-8 has been a very fruitful one. Over one hundred members have given
glad and willing response to the suggestions for work outlined by the president of the
organization, Miss Olive L. Dawson. With a heart full of interest for the work, and
with a willingness to sacrifice any personal wishes for the good of the association, the
Y.W.C.A. has been most fortunate in the one who has stood at its head this year.

The weekly prayer-meetin»s have been very helpful, and many have been greatly
strengthened by attending them.

Miss Helen Wells, treasurer of the Association, was sent as a delegate to the Student
Volunteer Convention, held in Cleveland, Ohio, Februar\- ^o-i!7. The spiritual enthusi-
asm generated in this unusually large missionary assembly will doubtless never die out
from the hearts of those who were present at its sessions, and those who listened to the

XI be fndeg

burning reports of the convention will always be more loyal to the spreading of Christ's
kingdom.

I5y means of the Bible-study class, the missionary meetings, and the Association
number ol TJte Vidette, the young women of the school have received valuable instruc-
tion and information.

During the winter term a "Japanese Tea" social provided a most pleasant and profit-
able evening.

In conjunction with the Y.M.C. A., evangelistic meetings were held, in charge of
Mr. Sayford. The many prayers offered for these meetings were certainly answered, as
rarely has one come among the students who has helped and strengthened them more
than did this man.

Tie year hook of the Y.W.C.A. has closed. The only regret that comes to the
hearts of the members is that its pages do not bear record of much more done in His
name. Hut trusting that when the Master shall open the book He shall say, "She hath
done what she could." The earnest desire of all hearts is that the new year may see a
deeper consecration of the membership, and a greater work accomplished for God than
tin' year 1-<'.i7-* has seen. L. B.

The appearance of The Index editors reminds
us that another school year has come and gone.
With it have come many opportunities. As an
organization, how many of its opportunities lias
the Y.M.C. A. embraced during the year?

Life in the Normal School is one of intense
activity. In addition to the regular class-room
work, numerous student enterprises make de-
mands upon the student's time. In the hurry and
bustle of this active life, there is the constant danger that the student will neglect the
spiritual side in his development. Even the Y.M.C. A. member may become so engrossed
in the work of the literary society, the athletic field, the contest, The Vidette, or any or all
of a number of enterprises, as to lose sight of the field that the Association opens to him.
We are happy to say that during the year now closing, none of these things has moved
us. Not that the Association men have given no attention to these other affairs, for
quite the reverse is true; but that while patriotically supporting all other enterprises,
they have allowed none to impair their usefulness in the Association.

Too much praise can not be given this year's officers for their unflagging zeal. In
C. Henry Smith and L. H. Klaas the Association has had a president and vice-president

40 ftbellndes

who liave been particularly noted for fidelity to duty. These arc the men who went as
delegates to the summer conference at Geneva last year, and judging the fruits of the
conference by these two men. it is not surprising that the Association is making an effort
to send five men to Geneva this year, instead of two, a> formerly. However, the effort
for the increased delegation to Geneva is only an illustration of the greater activity of
the Association all along the line. In former years our delegations to the state conven-
tions have numbered from two to seven men. This year we sent twenty-six men to
Decatur. This was the largest delegation sent by a school association in the state, and
was only exceeded by one city association, the Chicago Central. The effect upon the
Association of having so large a body of men in attendance at the inspiring sessions of
the state convention was very marked.

Another great gathering that attracted attention in Association circles this year
was the quadrennial convention of Student Volunteers, held at Cleveland, Ohio, in Feb-
ruary, and attended by over 2,200 delegates. Miss Helen Wells and Mr. A. E. White
represented the Normal associations, and brought back interesting reports of the con-
vention. One result of this convention was to stimulate the local interest in missionary
worlc. The mission study class is larger than before, and both associations, through
their missionary committees, are putting forth efforts for an increased missionary sub-
scription t his year.

Another improvement in Association work- is in Bible Study, where regular system-
atic courses have been arranged and pursued through the year.

line of the pleasant features of the year was the visit of Mr. Sayford during the
early part of the Spring term. Mr. Sayford remained with us nearly a week", giving ad-

Z be flnfcej 41

dresses to the students as a whole, to the boys separately, and to small groups by
appointment. He taught us a higher standard of living. His work was highly appre-
ciated, and when he left it was with the best wishes of the students who heard him while
here.

We have nearly reached the limit of our space. There is much to be written. The
story of this year's work can never be told, excej^t as it is revealed in the lives of the
men who have been affected by it. But boys, to just the extent that we have been faith-
ful to the duties that through the Association our hands have found to do, to just thai
extent have we set in motion forces, whose beneficent effects cannot now be told, because
the}' are not yet complete.

But let us turn from the past to the future. The cabinet for next year was scarcely
chosen before it was ruptured by the enlistment in the army of some of the officers. The
cabinet now stands: President, White; corresponding secretary, Stine; recording sec-
retary, Small; treasurer, Livingston.

The record of this year, though good, must be surpassed next year. The Y.M.C.A.
is a progressive organization. Its watchword is forward! Its harvest, victory!

* tf\e Lecture Course. #

EVEN numbers constituted the lecture course this year, as follows: Redpath
Concert Company, including Clementine DeVere and Arthur Beresford;
Robert J. Burdette, in bis lecture, "The Rise and Fall of the Mustache;"
John I'>. DeMott, here this year for the second time ; Gen. John B.Gordon;
Kellogg Concert Company; Welsh Prize Singers, and George Kiddle with
the Beethoven Orchestral Club, of six pieces.
Barring, perhaps, the Redpath Concert Co., which was the most expensive number
of the course. George Riddle, in his exquisite reading of "Midsummer Night's Dream"
was our best number. "Bob" Burdette touched a chord of sympathy and endeared him-
self once more to a Normal audience. Some of his descriptions were most graphic. .John
B. DeMotte is a lecturer seemingly well liked here but in our opinion be has more popu-
larity than is entirely due him. His lectures have in them a tinge of the sensational,
which detracts from the force of the intensely interesting scientific facts which he brings
out. The Welsh Singers and the Kellogg Company were novelties, and as such we'll Let
'em pass. John B. Gordon lectured on the "Last Days of the Confederacy." The old
veteran's reminiscences were well received by the audience.

The course cost $1,100 for talent alone, and altogether its cost was about $1,275. It
was not entirely a financial success for the reason that our hall is not large enough to
support a course of such cost, at the low price of admission that ought to be charged.
The students this year have stood by their course better than ever, however, and next
year will see another seven-number course of about the same cost.

TRE 0RAT9RieALG0NTEST.

Among the student enterprises of the school, perhaps no
one is now more prosperous than the organization known
as the Oratorical Association. But it has not always been
so. Prom year to year, until L896, the small audiences and
scant door receipts almost smothered the enthusiasm of the
faithful few who labored to maintain it. The situation had
^^ reached a critical stage, when two events took place, which
have placed it on a firm and lasting basis. Mr. Charles
Beach came to the rescue with substantial aid. He offered,
annually, a one hundred dollar cash prize, and a gold medal,
to the contestant winning the local contest. At about the
same time this school joined the luter-State Oratorical League
That man wa^the Marquis de La- of Norma] Schools. The movement was thus placed on a

Z be llnDej

higher piano. A school pride was created. Inducements were offered which called to
the support of the oratorical movement the aid and co-operation of the whole student

bud v.

The contest of 1898 was held the evening of March 26.
No pains were spared to make it a success. An appreciative
audience tilled the hall comfortably.
The stage presented a cheerful appear-
ance. Appropriate scenery was placed
in thi' background. In tin- foreground
were palms and Bowers.

The first speaker. .Mr. Elmer F.
Hnlt^'ren, chose lor his theme "Lafay-
ette a Champion of Freedom." He spoke
with an earnestness which commanded
attention. His production, however,
lacked in appreciation of the principles
and motives for which the life of the
great Frenchman stood.

Mr. Walter F Hike followed with
xr, but inevitable as the grave." an old topic, "Grant, the Soldier." Hut

before hewas through his audience felt that the silent commander

was dearer to them than ever before. In a deep rhythmic tone of voice and impressive

Ube flnDej

manner, he spoke in words of tender praise of the immortal achievements of Grant and
vividly portrayed a few of the great battles in which the hero figured. Mr. Pike was

well adapted to his theme, and he handled it in an excellent
way. A too forcible delivery of some of the finer points secured
for him a lower rank than he otherwise
might have had.

The theme "Henry George," was
treated in a scholarly way by Mr. A. B.
Wolfe. It required some courage to se-
lect for a subject the much abused and
oft misquoted political and social reformer,
whose name in future years will rank with that of John
Stuart Mill. Mr. Wolfe's delivery was natural. There
was no attempt at oratorical display. He threw his whole
soul into what he was saying, apparently oblivious that
the audience was eagerly catching the words as they fell
from his lips.

Mr. James R. Fordeu was natural^in his presentation
of "The Emancipator." His pleasant manner, his ease and
grace throughout the ]exercise3are'qualities to be com-
their Curtis." mended in a public speaker.
"George William Curtis and Civil Service Reform," was the next
oratiou, by Mr. J. Carl Stine. He gave a very strong analysis of his subject. Mr. Stine's

••The spoil-men had

•Free! Fl ee
Free! ! !''

Zbc Under

voice was clear and strong, and his gestures natural. He showed the many-sidedness of
Curtis' life, and the bearing of the movement he championed upon present political life.

The last speaker, Mr. EL E. Covey, presented the most finished
delivery of the evening. The theme, "Evolution of Character."
was well written and interesting throughout. No doubt his care-
ful training won for him the first place awarded by the judges.

The Inter-State Contest.

On Friday evening", May 6, occurred the
first Inter- State Oratorical Contest ever held
in Normal. Extensive had been the prepa-
rations to receive the visiting' delegations,
and although they numbered somewhere
near seventy we were fully prepared to take
charge of them for entertainment. For the
first time in the history of the association
representatives were here from the faculties
of each of the live normal schools repre-
sented in the contest. Four of the presi-
dents were here, only President Seeley, of
Cedar Falls, Iowa, not being present. Kan-
sas sent an enthusiastic delegation of about
fifty, the majority of whom were members
of the Orpheus and Euridyce clubs, of the
Emporia Normal. Missouri sent only two
delegates besides the orator.

Space will not admit here other than a
passing glance at the record of that event-
ful first week in May. At 8:30 p. m., Friday,
the contest began. Much tine music was in-
terspersed throughout the program, but, of
course, interest did not center on that.
Hyatt E. Covey, the home man, opened the battle of the giants with a wTell written

50 Z he linger

oration on Alexander Hamilton. Having to open the program, he was necessarily at a
tremendous disadvantage <>n that score, from the start. He held the audience well for
awhile, but was suffering from a severe cold and by hesitating therefrom somewhat lost
the interest of his hearers. He ranked tilth in the final outcome.

Arthur M. Nichelson, of Iowa, with "'The Common School as a Means to Reform."
held the attention of the audience firmly riveted to a well written, worthy theme. His
earnestness and power should have made up somewhat for his rather hollow voice. Ac-
cording to many he deserved better in the final. He ranked fourth, with fifth in delivery.

Geo. W. Rankin, of Whitewater. Wis., with "The Puritans and Puritanism," showed
great potential powers of delivery, but these powers were not sufficiently aroused. His
appearance was impressive, his voice deep and rich, but his delivery showed throughout
too much sameness, while his climaxes were weak. However, in the minds of a majority
of the audience, he seems to have deserved first rank in delivery. He received second,
which, with second in thought, gave him second final rank.

I! 1\ Taylor, of Kirksville, Mo., with "Orators and Oratory." delivered with such
polish, vigor, and clearness of voice as to win first in delivery. However, his style of
delivery was too ministerial, and gave evidences of considerable unnaturalness. He
ranked third in the final.

Allen T. St. ('lair, of Emporia, Kas.. was the man destined to carry off first honors.
His voice was clear, but seemed forced and unnatural. His general pleasing appear-
ance, however, won him third place in delivery, which, with a strong lead in thought,
gave him tir>t place. Pres. Harry Borgstadt presented the prizes of $50 and $30, witli
medals, to Allen T. St. Clair and Geo. W. Rankin, respectively.

The contest and all that pertained to it went off without a hitch. Next year the
contest will be held at Cedar Falls, Iowa. A. M. Thoroman, of Emporia, Kas.. will be
president of the league, with A. C. Puller, of Cedar Palls, Iowa, as secretary -treasurer;
Missouri i> entitled to the vice-presidency, but as yet has failed to till the place. P.

THE VIDETTE-^

YF IS a matter upon which we may congratulate ourselves, that this insti-
tution has within it such a school spirit that it easily maintains so elabo-
rate and costly a paper as The Vidette. Among the numerous exchanges
received by the managers each month, there are many that are really
worthy to be called high-class literary publications. Some are from col-
leges and universities in the east, some from the west. The majority, however, are from
normal schools; and of the normal school papers, there is not one received with which
The Vidette need fear comparison. Many strong normal schools can not support even a
poor paper. We pay our editor and business manager each a respectable compensation
for their services. There have been issued during the last year two special numbers,
aside from the oratorical contest number, for which the management received extra com-
pensation from the oratorical league. Besides this, the regular cost of printing upon
first-class paper is great; yet with judicious management the paper can be made to in-
crease its hold-over fund each year. These conditions render all the more interesting
Mr. Cook*s statement that at the time of its establishment, it was his belief that it could
not prosper.

Many of the experiences of the editor are funny; far more funny are some of the
negative blessings the business manager receives from some of those whom he has so far
wronged as to notify them that their subscription has lon^ been due and that their sup-
plying the deficit will not be taken amiss. Some of these sins of the business manager
result in the discomfort of the inoffensive editor, who is liable at any time to be stopped
on the street and reminded of the fact that a dun was entirely uncalled for, or that some
of The Videttes did not come last month, and that consequently the slighted subscriber will
not pay — and so on ad infinitum. It is a great experience. F.

THE

BRARY,

^N ACTIVE and varied life has been Ledby the library this year. New books
have been bought, the circulation has been large, and the cataloging has
made great progress. But this is only by the way. First of all. it is again
established in new quarters, and this time they may be considered per-
manent ones. The second floor of the handsome new gymnasium building
is given up to it, and it now occupies an airy room, forty by ninety feet, with a good
north light, and additional windows on the other three side. The hooks are shelved on
steel book Stacks of one of the best kinds, and are, as before, accessible to the students.
The students of the spring term of '98 have certainly earned the privilege of enjoy-
ing these improvements, for they were put to great inconvenience during the month in
which the changes were made, and in which the doors were very nearly closed. How could
they teach without pictures, or keep up in their studies without reference books, or read
without story books and magazines, or debate without original arguments? It was the
old story of learning to value things by beiny deprived of them, and at last the library
was appreciated.

It takes a long time to become thoroughly Settled in a new home, and the apartment
is still in process of improvement. Please imagine it aa it will appear in a very short
time after the writing of this article. It will have electric lights, with an ingenious ar-
rangement by which each set of shelves can be lighted separately as needed. The sunny

windows will be curtained, the book shelves will be thoroughly labeled. There will be
several new furnishings, including" atlas and dictionary rests, map-shelving", work tables,
and a children's table: also a new desk for the librarian, and more tables and chairs for
the readers. There will be pictures on the walls, and the new bulletin board will become
of greater importance.

Library hours have already lengthened, and include Saturday forenoon .Altogether,
the inconvenience of following the example of larger institutions, and having the library
in a separate building, will be more than offset by the many improvements that accom-
pany the change.

Positively our last appearance! We. the class oi
'98, glorious seniors of '98, must fold our tents like
the Arabs and as silently steal away. And, gentle
friends, we beg of you. do not Let your grief over
our early departure blind you to the fact that we
have not willingly brought this sad blow upon you.
Fain would we linger yet another year to guide your youthful feet along the steep and
narrow paths of pedagogy, chemistry, and bookkeeping, but "there is a destiny that
shapes our ends," and a relentless finger points us on to glories yet to lie achieved.

Ami lest those who follow our illustrious footsteps may feel that in scouring the
heights "\ Junior fame, they have reachel the summit of wisdom, permit us to suggest
from our own experience thai there are other worlds to conquer. The forty-seventh propo-
sition of Euclid and the Nebular hypothesis, we -rant, are not to be sneezed at. but if,
when you tackle Dr. Harris, you do not make use of some of the emphatic monosyllables
of your unsanctified vocabulary, we shall really feel quite concerned about your coenes-
thesia. To all succeeding generations, we would mildly suggest that "between you and
US and the grade-book," you might just as well sit forever on the boundary fence of the
universe and whittle pine as to go to the class in school law. knowing the facts, minus
the why's and wherefore's. And. above all things, don't try to discuss the fundamental
principal of causality with a courage born of despair, if you know the tune, but have for-
gotten the words.

Another pointer: Perhaps, some day. Mr. Cook' may have to go away to discourse to
unwary school-ma'ams and school-masters upon the wonders of that penknife of his. He

Zhc llnfcer

may really expect to be absent from the next recitation— there are hand cars, and he may
return sooner than you expect him. Therefore, it would be safer to read the lesson over
anyway, in case of an emergency.

As a class, we would not have you ignorant of the marvelous achievements that have
been ours; we feel that the best interests of the grand old Normal require that the laurels
won by the class of '93 should be displayed. But we are too modest even to mention the
fact that we have so far surpassed other classes as to be permitted to study Dr. Harris
instead of Rosencranz. that we have won distinction in the ball games, by our vociferous
lungs. As for our proficiency in apperceptive notions, we have them galore. Just arouse
any member of Section A from a sound slumber, and with a very slight stimulus he will
deliver an eloquent oration about ""arrested development," with his eyes but half open.

But Ave are "episoding" — far be it from us to boast of our attainments. Therefore,
permit us to make our final bow. and with blushing countenances, we will depart armed
with our coveted sheep — skins. As you strain vour eyes to behold the last vestage of our
vanishing forms, we hear your unanimous consent: ""Yea. verily, this was a class to be
proud of — whence cometh such another*?"

Echo answers. "Nevermore !"

^ Photographs.

The folks that in the last of June,

Our graduates would be,
Began to say, 'mid April showers,

'•Our pictures! Mercy me!"
At last the question was discussed,

And loud the talking grew.
Since Will would to his dear friend

And Robert with him, too.

sgo,

Now all noon long the talk went on

About the picture men.
Three artists fine, their terms sent out

And choose we tried to then.
But all the faults that "97

And classes long before
Had blamed to the photographers,

Were brought to light once more.

One man his word did never keep.

Class pictures did not hang:
Another lacked artistic skill

The accusation rang.
The third was far behind the times.

His business had grown small.
The work he had he did himself

With one apprentice tall.

Not one of them could tell the truth.

So said one lady fair —
She'd in a photo gallery worked

And to that fact could swear.
The talk grew loud, for Rob and Will

Still praised that biggest light
They told of all the fixtures new,

And for their man would fight.

They said that to this artist fine,

The best of people went,
And all who knew the proper thing

Their approbation lent.
But all the class would not allow

These boys to run the thing,
Allusions to their man's defects

Some folks began to fling.

One maiden said that she had lived

In the adjoining city
As long a time as t'other boys.

If not, it were a pity.
And she had had her photographs

As often, surely, taken.
And both the artists she had tried,

And Will's man had forsaken.

The storm raged on and Section A

Did a most miss their dinner:
The seniors grave, with cares weighed down,

Were beginning to grow thinner.
And when at last the president

Declared the meeting ended,
The family jar was jarred so much,

'Twas hard to get it mended.

Kf •

A long, winding road is the highway we travel.

While making our journey, the journey of life,—
A road that leads sometimes thro' Nature's glad freedom.

And sometimes thro' wide-swelling tumult and strife.

Where'er the road leads us. we garner and gather
Some thoughts and remembrances, happy and Bweet,

Some pictures to cheer us in twilight's Ioiil: gloaming,
When life's lights are low. and so weary our feet.

Some part of our road we have traveled together,

And many glad memories hoarded away
To brighten our path with their magical beaut} ,

When shadows grow deeper and fades out the day.

Our beautiful campus in light of the evening.

The dark shadows lying across the long grass,
The larches' long plumes in the gentle breeze swaying.

The twitter of birds' sleepy songs as we pass,

The rich glowing shades of the trees in the autumn,

The daintj fresh green of their verdure in spring.
The evergreens bending with weight of their snow-crowns,—

Are beautiful pictures to which our hearts cling.

TLbc 1lnC>e£

And, standing' alone in its rounded completeness,
Fit emblem of one who from us has passed,

The wide-spreading- maple they call Mr. Metcalf's
Will dwell in our memories e"en to the last.

This road which has brought us so far on life's pathway,
Its mossy retreats, and our favorite nooks,

The hills where we faltered, the heights we surmounted,
All tempt us to tarry with lingering looks.

But time is relentless, so, whether reluctant

Or willing to leave our old school and old friends,

The future demands from us labor and service.
And stern is the summons the world to us sends:

' Go prove thyself worthy to win in the battle.

And worthy to share the reward of the strong,
Or suffer in silence the fate thou deserves!

If weakly thou shrink from thy place in the throng.

Where Are We At?

We thought that we were Seniors,
But we are now in doubt;

We fear that Mr. Felmley
Intends to crowd us out.

He gives such monstrous lessons

We study all day long;
And also dream at night time,

And dream things all out wrong.

And then in early morning
We start to school at seven.

We think we've learned our lesson,
And will surely get eleven.

But when we're asked to tell it,
We find that we don't know

What's truth and what is fiction,
And so we set zero.

On that eventful morning
Of our commencement day

If there exist no Seniors,
What will the people say?
J. W.

Mind? No matter! Matter? Nevermind!

It's very important once in a while to

fC]^UPHEMISMS AND ^IMILESk.

From the Shakespeare and Rhetoric Classes.

From an Essay on Richard II: — "The
scene of action is principally in England
and Whales."

From a paper on the Maine: — "The
Maine was our finest vessel; she carried
four twelve-inch guns and three white-
headed torpedos."

Mr. Young reads his own interpretation
into the text. — Reads "Oh dearest dread,"
"Oh dearest dear."

Mr. Waits, (reading in As Y<>n Like It):
-"For honesty coupled to beauty is to
have honey a saucer to sugar.

Mrs. Riggs (reading in the same play):—
"Next a lover shining like a furnace."

Miss Colby: — Mr. Wilson, what does "to
stalk" mean'?
Mr. Wilson: — to take short steps.

Miss Colby (To Mr. Alien, who has talked
off the subject 8 minutes by the clock) — Still I
think I must insist that you answer my
question."

Miss Colby (in Literature class, wears
dark glasses on a dark, cloudy day) asks:
What does the line — "For light she hated
as the deadly bale," — indicate as to her
character?

Miss Colby (to Mr. B ):— Did you

ever interfere in a domestic quarrel?
Mr. B : Not outside — no.

George Wilson: — They saw that Ham-
let wasn't "just right."

Reece: - Well, Hamlet's conduct to-
ward Ophelia was rather rudi for one that
thought so much of ah- loved her.

( llass "liicheln."]

Mr. Waits: The queen did not marry
the king's brother until he was dead.

From a Rhetoric paper: -"The mill
was a delapidated old flowering mill."

PROM ANOTHER: "A man ate his break-
fast put on his hat and overcoat kissed
his wife walked a block- and a half hailed
a trolly ear got on and sat down paid the
conductor a nickle rode a mile and a half
gol off and walked two block's to his office

(Wonderful age of mechanical skill!)

Mr. Henry Smith {in tlie Criticism class's
discussion of Silas Manu r): — Well, Silas and
Dolly were so narrow that they couldn't
very well get together.

John Reece (.another day): Well, Ham-
let thought quite a lot of Ophelia.
Miss COLBY: — Thought what!
! Ripple runs over the class. J
Reece: —Well, er-ah-he Moved her.

In the Criticism Class: Miss ('.
Can yon tell what causes the difference
between the feeling given us by the "gray
of the morning" and the "gray of the even-
ing?" (Several hands go up, conspicu-
ously Miss Hatcher's, i

To flunk or not to flunk; that is the question:
Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer
The pang's and darts of growing drowsiness,
Or take arms against a sea of slumbers,
And by opposing, end them? To bone: to Hunk:
No more: and by our will to say we end
The grade books and the thousand marks
Student flesh is heir to. 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished: to sleep, to rest:
To rest: perchance to flunk; aye there's the rub:
For in the class next day such 'quests may come
When we have wakened from this blissful rest,
As give us naught; there's the grade book
That makes calamity of so long sleep;
For who would bear the slights and scorn of mates,
The teacher's irony, his glance of high disdain,
His smile's contempt, the nine's delay,
The insolence of classmates and the spurns
That sleepy merit of the wakeful take
When he himself might double plusses make
By wakefulness'? Who would lessons learn
And grunt and sweat under a care-worn life
But that the fear of something after roll,
The ever-dreaded classroom for whose bourn
No student ever yearns, rouses the will
And makes us rather bear this ill we have
Than fly to rest and grades we know not of?
Thus grade books do make night-hawks of us all;
And thus the native hue of recitation
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of sleep,
And exercises of great pitch and moment
With wanton recklessness are dreamed away.
And lose their aim of animation.

THE PIKE-JONES CONCERT COMPANY.

PRESS NOTICES.

Normal Advocate: Herr Peasley's style of playing is all his own. Even Paderewski
never approached him in originality of interpretation.

New York Police Gazette: Mr. Coleman's bird warbling is simply astonishing. It is
safe to say none of the audience ever listened to its like before.

Bloomington (111.) Sunday Eye: Mr. Pike's solo worked up the audience wonderfully.

Normal (111.) Vidette: We are glad to hear that the University is coming to the front
along musical lines. Our enterprising student, Mr. Walter Pike, with the assistance of
Miss Blodwen Jones, late of the Welsh prize singers, has organized a concert company
for the coming season. Mr. Pike and Miss Jones will render the vocal numbers. They
have secured the services of the celebrated piano artist, Mr. Will Peasley. After much
persuasion, Mr. Lyman Coleman has consented to accept the position of bird warbler.
The position of advance agent of such a company is an arduous one to fill, but the com-

( piv.it pressure is being brought t<> bear on Mr. Cowles to join the company as clog and
skirt dancer. If Bruce Bright can be induced to leave the field of base ball, he may

Later news- The plans of Messrs. Wolfe and Pike may at any time be changed, as
they are considering a very cordial offer from the Hon. Mr. Gatepost to act as his ad-
vance agents. These gentlemen's undoubted success in the past in securing large audi-
ences for Sliakesperian lectures procured them this offer.

Ggmmentario de Glassigq JaNieRieo.

LL NORMAL is divided into three parts. Of these the new students occupy
one, the Seniors another, but by far the most important part consists of
those who, in our language, are called Juniors, but in their own are called
The People. All these differ greatly among themselves in language, man-
ners, and customs. The river of knowledge, very wide and very deep, sepa-
rates the Juniors from the Seniors. Of all these the new students are the
most self -confident, for this reason, because they are farthest distant from the culture
and superior wisdom of the Seniors and are next to the Juniors, who dwell across the
river of First Experience, and with whom they carry on war every winter term. For this
reason the four year people excel the rest of the Juniors in power, because they contend
in almost daily struggle with the classics. One part of these territories which it is said
the Juniors hold takes its origin from the river of Self-Esteem. It is restrained by the
Faculty, by the spirit of the institution, and by the worthy example of the Seniors; it
reaches even from spelling and elements to psychology. It looks toward the constella-
tion of the yreat Section A. The new studeuts spring from the outermost limits of all
creation: they aspire to a seven per cent. They look toward the constellation of the
yreat Section A and a rising reputation. The Seniors reach from the river of Element-
ary Knowledge to the heights of Introspection and to that part of Wisdom which is near
Perfection. The}' face between an immediate college career and the life of a peda-
gogue. S.

Tune of Marching Through Georgia.

Bring the class together, let us sing another song:
Sing it with a spirit that will show we're good

and strong,
Sing so section A will feel we're right where we
belong,
While we are Juniors in Normal.

Korus:— Hurrah! Hurrah! The classof SectionC:
Hurrah! Hurrah! For Juniors proud are we,
And so we sing the praises of our University,
While we are Juniors in Normal.

Section A*s above us, but we soon will take their

place.
Section A psychology we soon will have to face,
Section C will never fear the path the Seniors

trace,
For we are Juniors in Normal.

KORUS: — Section A will now go forth to train the

youthful brain,
In this year of Ninety-eight when Spain blew up

the Maine,
As Juniors we're for anything to fighting wars

with Spain,
"While we are Juniors in Normal.

Korus:— Section C is made of folks who never

break their word,
Full of pure resolves and true as men have ever

heard,
When we take the field of life the country will be

stirred,
For we are Juniors in Normal.

And our teachers, Oh! our teachers are very

much amused.
But:

Section A isn't in it, don't you see?

For when a month doth end, we are sorry for our

Who is invited to the Dresident's soiree.
Oh! Junior Section D.G. I. J.
Only one year more and we will hold sway,
For when our work is done, we'll honor you in fun
In The Index, The Index, next May.

There are flunks for everybody in this good, good

And we all get them plenty from our science

Hartman, Felmley, Holmes, Potter, and our good

Have us with them so often that they know us

like a book.

But: —Refrain.

What a jubilee there'll be when we graduate in

And our Index, blessed Index, will the story all

relate,
But we'll warn all you Seniors,
Who'll want at least 2, that the price will be $2,
All nicely bound in blue.

But: — Iiefr'tin.

But to Section A we sing this,

Who leave this good old town,
Who regrets the tearful parting

Of their science teacher, Brown,
And we wish you all success

In the securing of a school,
Hoping you'll manage some way

This summer to keep cool.

PICK-UPS.
Mr. Felmley (in the Geometry class) — If, from the center of a log-, the largest pos-
sible square prism be cut, what part of the log has been removed? No one knows. So Mr.
Felmley says, "Well, it is rVths." Now, the question is, "Where did this ,B, come from?"
Mr. Dickerson — "It comes out of the center of the log."

Mr. McDonald goes down to Maroa looking- for students; sees a man driving in with
a trunk in his wagon; runs to meet him, and asks if his daughter is going to school. The
man says that she is. McDonald helps unload the trunk, and asks her to put up at the
Seeley club. She says, "I am going to Lincoln to school."

From Pfingsten*s method of demonstrating propositions in geometry, Professor
Felmley infers that he (Pfingsten) would prefer to go north rather than south to reach
Bloomington from Normal.

Professor Felmley informs Mar}r Wells that some people swallow their geometry
about as an alligator swallows his food — without tasting it.

As conclusive evidence of the logical workings of Walter Jones's mind, we quote the
following forcible statement: "Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the short-
ness of the program, we will now take a short recess."

AMPAICN OF

EG1MENT

l*K raw recruits were mustered into the I. S. N. T. army last fall. We

pitched our tents at ( 'amp Normal, as that was to be our base of supplies.

As a pledge of <>ur Loyalty t<> our new duties, our flag of scarlet and white

was soon floating above the camp.

Our regiment was recruited into three companies, named respectively

F'.F^-indF3. We re-
ceived the most vigorous discipline,
but obeyed without a murmur even
such orders as the following from the
chief cook of the commissary depart-
ment: "Keep to the right;" "When you
go, go as though you expect to get
there before winter sets in;" "Single
file under all considerations." We
were soon called into active service.
as our officers were not slow in dis-
covering our unusual ability, altho",
we regret to say. they wen- loath to
give it proper recognition.

Our tirst engagement took place
on the Plains of the Assembly Room. Elements was our objective point. Our troops
were scattered and we came olT without even the "(dements" of success. We were not

XI be llnDes 95

discouraged, however, and companies F1 and P2 soon reformed. Just at this time the
spelling troops, under Captain Cavins, made a dash. They were armed with the most
difficult words in the vocabulary, and captured many prisoners. The imprisonment of
some continued throughout the entire campaign, and a few have not yet freed themselves
from that bondage.

Company F:! had been called away to reinforce the troops that were gallantly fight-
ing Major Colton. Armed with botany can and microscopes, and heedless of the pouring"
rain, to which they had been hardened while encamped at Mackinaw Dells, they were
fiercely lighting for the wild bacteria that they thought grew in the enemy's camp. Our
men were in an exceedingly healthy condition, due in a large measure to the excellent
training of Captains Lucas and Edwards. As a result, we were victorious, with none
killed — only a few wounded. Among the latter were numbered those who were excused
from gymnastics.

Elated over our recent victory, we determined to attack Port Grammar. Lieutenant
Mavity opened tire with her siege guns. As these were fired by the inductive method,
they were aimed at a few individuals first and then swept dovvn our men generally on all
sides. Few escaped without bearing" evidence of the accuracy of the gunner.

The peaceful shades of evening put an end to the terrible flunking. The soldiers of
Regiment F rested for a fortnight.

The Faculty now declared an armistice and we agreed to discontinue all operations
for the time being. Upon receiving this information, we obtained furloughs, and those
Who were able went home to visit their friends.

When the fortnight had expired we hastened to our posts, determined to whip the
Faculty into submission. We found, however, that the Faculty had not been idle during
this time, but had been engaged in repairing and replacing siege machinery. Fort Gram-
mar was now replaced by the Pedagogical Barracks. Seeing the strength of their
enemy, the faculty had entirely refitted old Fort Mathematics with rapid-fire guns.

96 Zbc Unoej

The History breastworks had also been thrown up to our left. Spelling infantry
had been drawn up on the opposite side of Misspell River. The enemy also had control
of Cheat bridge, which was guarded by Captain Vigilance. All these things had been
done after an armistice had been declared. We had been out-generaled and had no other
course but to storm the work's.

The fight commenced early in the morning with a charge on the Spelling infantry.
Our forces were divided into two divisions. The larger body attacked the enemy in
front, crossing Misspell River by ford. The smaller part charged cheat Bridge. Cap-
tain Vigilance was seized and quickly dispatched. After his death his men lied in utter
confusion. A shout went up from .ill the Lines. Co. P3, which was guarding the rear,
now advanced and we marched triumphantly towards the higher forts.

The forts now opened tire on our lines from all sides. Fort Mathematics hurled red
hot shots in the shape of cub •>. cones, prisms, and pyramids, which were extremely hard
t.> dodge successfully. History redoubt was feebly defended by Major-General Mc-
Cormick, because he said: "This is not my day to fight." We soon captured it and turned
the guns on Pedagogical Barracks. We had formed our plans very carefully. Our aim
was to overpower Major Holmes with the superior strength of regiment P. We now
proceeded to the presentation of a shower of individual notions, using the cannon of
History Redoubt as concrete illustrations. Major Holmes and his company proved to be
very apt pupils, and were soon prepared to draw their own conclusions. The general
notion of defeat was accurately expressed by a hasty retreat. Stores of mythical ammu-
nition and fairy guns were left behind.

All our forces were now brought to bear upon the remaining stronghold, held by
Major-General Felmley with General Hartman second in command. We advanced with
colors flying, but soon the guns of Fort Mathematics hurled their deadly flunks among
our ranks at an average speed of 6:40.

( )uv comrades fell on every side, yet we pushed on. Some, terrified by the fearful

Z\k "fln&ej

carnage, fled from the field, only to be captured and pressed into service in regiments <>
and H. The geometric guns still continued, deadly effects being produced upon the
Decatur volunteers. Our efforts were finally crowned with success. The major-general
was forced to retreat, but not until he had spiked every record.

This glorious victory was succeeded by many others. But once during the entire
campaign had we sustained great loss. A few daring scouts were ambuscaded by the
savage chief, Latin Turtle. He fought in true savage style. The cowardly attack was
a general massacre. He obtained many scalps. Company F3 hastened in pursuit, but
the enemy escaped. That night he had a regular war dance, and there was great rejoic-
ing among the faculty.

At last our successful campaign in this educational war was closed and we retired
to the seclusion of soldiers" homes for the summer, to recuperate for next year's struggle.

The victory, 'twas ours, they say;

And truly 'twas a glorious day.

But. alas, for it we'll have to pay.

For some day we'll be regiment A.

SectioD ( r, or Company ('•. is one of the best companies in
the regiment of students that attend the LS.N.U. This com-
pany is a company of volunteers who enlisted at the beginning
of the year by the presentation of appointments or by passing
a creditable examination here. At the beginning of each of
the Winter and Spring terms the company is again recruited
m* up to its full strength. Soon alter our Company ('• was mus-
tered into the regulararmy, September, '97, we began to drill.
We learned to walk quietly and quickly, t<> .stand and make
no noise.

After the first day we were put on guard for four hours
every day in the class room. We guarded our thoughts and
ton-iie-. At first we were lain to dodge the question which came point blank from the
teacher. But each hour made us stronger, and after hours and hours of trial and test we
b< i aine able to stand before the well put question, which meant, "do or die." The Spell-
ing class is recruited mainly from Company G, and as we enter upon our duties there, that
fear again overtakes US and we cannot stand before the words, which, hurled from the
month of the teacher, so often hit the mark.

When off duty we heard the grave and solemn Seniors speak- about the Phils, the
Wrights, Sappho, and Cicero, and we wondered what it all meant. Could it be the en-
emy? At last we dared to ask an aspiring youth who was 'lectioneering for an office in
Cicero. We learned that they were the four societies of the school. We attended the

societies in fear and trembling, and wondered at the wisdom that so was there displayed.
As the weeks went by we grew to love the societies and soon we lifted our voices in song
and debate in the society halls. Many of our young men have held important offices in
Cicero. Company G is now. loyal to its societies, and no member would hesitate to bat-
tle for his society.

Two more years of test and trial and we go out to battle and to conquer. We will
conquer the children's minds and establish provisional governments in our schools. May
Section G always remain loyal to our school, our societies and our country. V. G. S.

OUR FIRST YEAR at a college is in many respects the most interesting',
and the most vividly remembered. We have passed through one term in
a Normal school, and find ourselves near the close of a second. We have
participated in so many scenes and incidents that space will not allow the

historian to go into detail. We came lure friendless, strangers, unac-
quainted with Normal customs.

'Sonic of us lanky some of us lean.
Most of us cranky— all of us green,"

"i- so the other sections thought us. But, as lias ever been the case, they were destined

to iie surprised. Section H. at first a little "new," abashed, and ill at ease, with a "where-

am-I-at" feeling, set to work with light and hopeful hearts, and soon were aide to "hold

their own." We knew it would take a struggle to compete with the other sections; but

with calm persistent efforts, we were able to say. "If we been not so smart, we get there

schust der same."

As a class, we are second to none. We are proud of being "Us." we rather like the
letter "H." It isn't a bit egotistical like "I," nor doesn't suggest a ".lay." As for "F," that
reminds one of "Plunk," and "A" and "('." make one think- of a \vrd store. "Hay and Seed."
We'd rather be "H's" because that's like "Heaven."

We have reason to be proud of our boys ever gentlemanly, and true, with ready
hands and willing hearts, quick to do their best and serve their country. As to the girls,
dill you ever hear of such sympathizing, patriotic and loyal ladies, as are those in our
section? We are care free and happy, and justly so. And now we know

"Some ol us are lanky — Bome of us lean,
A few of us crankj -but none of us green."

5ORMER EDITIONS of The Index have contained personal sketches of
the first president of the Normal School. I am asked to summarize, within
as brief a space as possible, some of the leading events in the life of this
rare and most interesting" man. He was born in the town of Thetford,
Vermont, on the 26th day of April, L827. The son of a farmer, he early
became inured to toil. His early education was obtained from the public school and was
substantially completed at Dartmouth College, from which he graduated in 1S."L\ sup-
porting himself by teaching' through the long vacations. Soon after graduation he be-
came principal of the academy and high school at Farmington, Mass., where he remained
for two years. In 1854 he removed to Peoria, where he took charge of a private school
for boys. But he was too full of the spirit of Horace Mann to be contented with the in-
adequate provisions for popular education which the city afforded, so he soon saw to it
that there should be public schools, and when they opened he became their principal.

With such men as he and a few others, it is not surprising that the educational fer-
ment soon began to arouse the people of the state. The normal school idea was in the
air. A school journal was established, of which he became editor, and it was perhaps
one of the most valuable of the agencies which hastened the movement forward. The
educational scheme rapidly ripened, the bill was passed by the General Assembly in
ls.~>7, and the normal school opened in October of the same year, with Charles E.
Hovey as principal.

It were long to tell the story of the desperate struggles through which the normal
school building was finally completed and the pupils housed out on the prairie two miles

Uhc 1lnfcc£ 107

and a half from the Bloomington court house. The story has been told by General
Hovey liimself in a bistory of the Illinois State Normal University, published fifteen
years ago. It was a battle royal from start to finish. Over and over again it has been
said by those who ought to know, that no one with less than General Hovey"s marvelous
persistence, consummate tact and skill, and almost matcbless audacity, could have car-
ried the measure through. He built without straw a good share of the time, and some-
times almost without clay.

But the war came on. He hurried away to the front with the Normal regiment, won
his spurs at the battle of "The Cache," became a brigadier general, and subsequently a
major general; was with Sherman at Vicksburg, and in the stirring events which fol-
lowed hard upon that memorable campaign, and was twice wounded at Arkansas Post.
Not long after this, for reasons wThich were in part personal, General Hovey retired from
the army, having won a most enviable reputation as a fighter of the first quality. Had
he chosen to remain there is no reason to doubt that he would have beenrecognized every-
where as inferior to no officer of his rank in the Western army.

In 1*64 he removed to Washington and engaged in the practice of law. But he did
not lose his old enthusiasm for popular education. To him more than to any other one
man, is due the credit of reorganizing the system of education of the District of Colum-
bia and putting it into its present admirable shape. During all of these years his thought
turned with interest to the school which he had established. None of its achievements
were indifferent to him. Occasionally he made us a visit. His address at the celebra-
tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary was the most notable contribution to that interesting
occasion. On the 19th day of last June he returned, broken in health, to join us in cele-
brating our fortieth anniversary. He was privileged to attend two or three of the meet-
ings, but the great forces of his life were at last broken. Disease contracted in the
swamps of Mississippi, had followed him for many years, and was now about to claim
its victim. For 100 days he was my guest, and with a very brief exception, was confined

io8

XI be linger

to his bed by serious illness. His faithful wife joined him two weeks after his arrival and
remained with him until his return to Washington. Throughout the heated days ol last
summer he endured the pain of a mortal illness without complaint, illustrating anew in
the unconquerable courage with which he fought for life, the qualities which had made
him ><> conspicuous in establishing institutions an I winning battles. In September he
was taken back to Washington, where he lingered until November 17. when he passed
away.

At his request he was buried in the National Cemetery at Arlington Heights, where
the graves of the Qnion soldiers stretch away in almost countless numbers under the
shady trees of the old Lee plantation. He was laid to his final rest with the touching
ceremonies of a military funeral. Around him were those whom he had loved, and as
the sad notes of the mellow bugle echoed through the forest shades. Charles E. Ilovey.
the scholar, the teacher, the soldier, the friend of every movement tending to the ameli-
oration of the condition of mankind, passed into history.

Mr. Edwards {in reading class): Mr.
Funk, what text do you use?

Mr. Funk: Well, I guess you couldn't
find it in the Bible.

Professor Felmley {in -primary arith-
metic for newcomers): Now, if you had forty
little imps before you to show this to, how
would you do it?

:Well, I'd rather have forty little

imps before me than one big' one.

Miss Taylor: Yes, that's what I meant.

MissWilkins {to perplexed student)-. Now,

you.

Miss A.: Mr. Felmley, I can't explain
this problem. I'm all mixed up.

Mr. F. Miss A. is all mixed up. Miss
Mix may take the problem, and see if she
can unmix her.

Miss Hartmann compares her class to a
fiddle: "Now, I work hard and labor long'
and diligently to get you keyed up to the
right pitch. Then I touch a string, and it

the pulse, which hand 1 take?

Mr. Colton: No, Miss Augustine, un-
less you have two hearts.

Mr. Manchester {in study of colloquial-
isms): "How many say. 'It is a fine day?"

The question came up one day in tin-
political economy class as to whether or
not that science teaches one to push ahead

right ahead regardless of where the chips
are falling?"

Prof. Holmes: What is the chief aim
of science study?

A pupil ix PEDAGOGY: To gain a re-
sponsive instinct into nature.

he says, fought a duel, and after a long
struggle, slew each other. After an hour
of conscious unconsciousness he arose.
picked up his body, and started to walk
with it to heaven. After a long journey,
he met a man who. in answer to the ques-

A morn to a poet's wishing.

Miss Bessie and I went fishing.

I in my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at sunshine's mercy.

with her hat tipped down on her nose,
And her nose tipped— via w rsa.

I with my rod. my reel and my hook-.

And a hamper for luncheon recesses;
She with the bait of her saucy looks.

And the -tine of her dark brown tresses.

So we sat down on the sunny dike,
Where the white pond lilies teeter:

And I went to Bshing like quaint old Ike:
And she, like Simon Peter.

All the noon I lay in the light of her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited.

But the fish were cunning and would not rise
And the baiter-alone was baited.

And when the time for departure came.

The bag was fiat as a Hounder:
For Bessie had neatly hooked her ^ame —

A hundred and fifty pounder.

Ten Little Scorchers

Ten athletic Normal girls formed a club so fine:
One lost a wee. wee screw, and then there were nine.

Nine active Normal girls started, for 'twas late:

One tarried before her glass and then there were eight.

Bight good Normal girls were on their way to heaven:
One fell off the sidewalk, and then there were seven.

Seven impatient Normal girls would not stop to fix
An unfortunate sister's saddle, so that left but six.

Six thirsty Normal girls, their spirits to revive.
Stiit one for soda water, and then there were five.

Five frightened Normal girls were afraid the rain would pour:

< >ne of them stopped at a neighbor's house, and then there were four.

Four joyous Normal girls were going on a spree:

One war. lost amid the crowd and then there were three.

These three friendly Normal girls were Lizzie, Bess, and Sue:
Lizzie left them for a beau, and then there were two.

Two wear) Normal girls returned at set of sun:
One reached home before the other, and that left but one.

One little Normal girl thought she'd have some fun:

She went coasting down the hill, and then there were none.

These same ten Normal girls will the next time keep together;
Then won't we have a time enjoying this spring weather!

"'THIS STORY WILL NOT GO DOWN."

S8&

HOUGH the secret has been guarded with great care and painstak-
ing', it has been discovered that some of the boys of the school
have formed what is known to them as The Tight Wad Society. The
meeting to organize was held in the bowling alley of the gym-
nasium, on the 7th day of January. This place was chosen on
account of its unused character, and because no artificial light was
necessary, as the orb of night lent her pale beams free of charge.
The members disposed themselves in a free and easy manner on
the bowling pins, and were soon ready for the work of organiza-
tion. As the originator and promoter of the scheme, Mr. Mize
acted as temporary chairman. He stated the object of the meeting as follows: "Breth-
ren CellerFlitazens, I have viewed with consternation the ruthless expenditure of money
upon lecture and concert tickets by some of the senior members of this school, and be-
lieve some means should be taken to check the spread of this pernicious influence. It is
deemed advisable by some of the wiser and cooler heads to prevent the unmitigated, un-
sophisticated members of this institution from indulging in a similar extravagance. We
will proceed to the active work of organization by electing a president. Nominations
are now in order." Mr. George Pfingsten rose with becoming dignity and gravity from
the ten pins upon which he had been gracefully poised, and spoke as follows: "Mr. Chair-
man and Fellow Tight Wads, (hem, hem,) I — ah rise to present for your consideration —
ah, the name of a gentleman whom all will allow, has — ah the necessary qualifications —

M4 GbeUn&ej

ali of a ruling officer for this body (hem, hem.) It will ah be unnecessary for me ah to
alt men t ion more than two instances of the gentleman's economy t<» convince all of his
fitness for the place (hem.) Ah during the football season he was arranging to visit a
lady friend in Galesburg, when, by a happy chance, he heard that the Norma] team were
to play a game with Knox 'hem. hem.) It dashed upon him like an inspiration ah that
here was a chance to combine the tender passion and economy, if he wen- but a member of
the team. Through the influence of friends he secured the position of substitute with the
team and he visited his friend without expending ah one cent of the legal tender of the
realm ah. Not Long since he borrowed Ralph Guerber's hand-sled and took two of his lady
friends sleigh-riding up and down Ash street." (A murmur of intense enthusiasm rose at
this juncture, i Solemnly advancing to the center of the room and raising both hands in
supplication to the moon. Mr. Pfingsten proceeded: "Gentlemen, I have the ah honor of
presenting for your admiration the name of Mr. James Young." (Loud applause from the
bowling pins i Mr. ( Iraigmile controlled his emotions long enough to move that the nomi-
nations be closed. 'The mot ion was seconded, carried, and Mr. Young elected by acclama-
tion. With modest blushes mantling his brow, Mr. Youhg emerged from an obscure corner
of the loom and carefully seated himself upon the bowling pins vacated by Mr. Mize Mr.
Martin and Mr. Webster were unanimously elected to the respective positions of vice-
president and secretary.

A committee consisting of Mr. Pairchild, Mr. Burner, Mr. Dillon, and Mr. Rape had
been appointed to draft a constitution, but had disagreed except upon one provision,
which is given below :

No member of this society shall buy (lowers or candy for a girl. If any member is
proved guilty of this offense, he shall pay a fine of not more than five dollars."

Mr. McDonald objected to this strongly, saying: "This measure seems to me almost
Spanish in its tyranny and oppression. I have been keeping up a correspondence with a
young lady by means of candy hearts; they are much sweeter missives than anything I

Zbc linger

145

can write. Then the sentiments on them are always so apt and fitting. I must withdraw
from the order if this measure carries."

Mr. Sullivan seconded these remarks and the motion carried to consider candy-hearts
as hilh t-doux.

Mr. Doud moved that all letters to girls be sent to girls C.O.D. If this was impos-
sible in a case where several boys wrote to one girl, all the letters should go in one
envelope, and thus save postage. Mr. Bullock enthusiastically cried, '"Them's my senti-
ments, too."

Mr. Braden rose, and with tears in his voice, implored the president to appoint a
guard to protect him for fear some of these Norma I girls "would rope him in." The pres-
ident appointed as evening and night guard, Messrs. Flentje, J. Q. Adams. George Wil-
son. Waterman, Prank Hayes, and Luke. The following are to serve only during day
functions, as it is contrary to their custom to be absent from their rooms after 7 P. M. :
J. P. Stewart. Harmon Waits, Noah Young. Archie Norton, and Branch Taylor.

Names of new members were now submitted. The application of Mr. Edwards was
considered at some length. He was finally refused admittance on the testimony of one
of the charter members, who stated that Prof. Edwards had already gone with forty-
seven ,^'irls, by actual count, and such an example was to he deplored. Mr. Stine, reduced
to tears by this ruling, rose to a point of order. At this instant the moon went down and
meeting had to adjourn, and the point of order could not receive a hearing.

The patient Index scribe did dream: he slept and dreamt, and this is what he
dreamed: That Fahnestock had his hair cut.

™ "SUDDUTH/'

At last it has been demonstrated that Pears can be successfully grown in this country when the
Sudduth Pear is planted. The Sudduth Pear is the great marvel of horticulture. The original
is 79 years old, 55 feet high, and over ten feet in circumference, and has not failed a crop of fruit in the
memory of the oldest settlers — over sixty years. No blight, no disease, fruit almost seedless and core-
less, and of very superior quality. The original and grafted trees each bearing seventy to eighty
bushels in a season. Send us your address for our semi-annual wholesale price list of general nursery
stock, and our 20-oage illustrated catalogue of the Sudduth Pear.

AUGUSTINE & COMPANY,

We always have employment for live and
energetic men to handle the Sudduth Pear.
The work is pleasant and very profitable.

Tlic following bets arc considered sure

( )ne hundred to nothing', that The Index
is out.

Dollars to mills, that we arc glad of it.

Two to one, that within a week some
fool will ask. "When will Tin; [ndex he

Ollt'.'"

Dollars to doughnuts, that Craigmile

will cut out two whole pages before he

takes it home.

Even, that Pfingsten will think' had
German adjectives when he reads this
and other things.

Seven to one. that some members of the
rlas-, of '98 haven't schools for next year
'. • l

Collar buttons to tan shoes, that some
of them have decidedly other arrange-
ments.

Dollars to pennies, that next year's
Senior class will get swiped in the faculty
bal I games.

Same, that the class of '99 will have to
hustle to get out a better INDEX.

Cartwheels to pennies, that Mis-~ Hart
mann won't like this Index as well as the
one of Last year.

Sixteen to one. that this INDEX won't be
as disagreeable to have in the house as
last year's was.

Ten to one, that Stewart will blot out
several lines of this publication before he
sends a gift copy of it to his ah — cousin
— in Elgin.

STUDE&JJS,

When you are teaching, and getting
ready for your graduating exercises,
keep us in mind.

It stands to reason that a concern that
makes a specialty of Diplomas, Graduat-
ing Invitations and Programs can give
you better results than one which gets an
occasional order. Our work went into
every State in the Union last year, be-
cause it was the best. We make the
business a study and are familiar with
your wants.
